Sacred Symbols+, Episode 432 | The Making of Tri-Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey
🕑 Added 2025-01-18 17:00:15 +0000 UTCHello! It's me, Colin. Please help me in welcoming a couple of familiar faces back to Sacred+, as well as a pair of newcomers making their first appearance: Barry Johnson, Lachlan Pini, Josh Davis, and Joshua Gossage. I've assembled this particular crew because these four guys are the creative team behind Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey, the newest game from the indie studio I co-own with Barry, Lillymo. It's a direct sequel to Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure, which we first released on PS4 and Vita back in 2020, and as the name suggests, it stars the cast of Sacred Symbols, this time in an unusual, time-bending ordeal. As usual, Barry designed and programmed the game, but we got lots of help from the other guys, too, with Lachlan's and Joshua's pixel art and Josh's (also known as Lazer) chiptune soundtrack. As for me? I wrote it, constituting about 1% of the work that went into making Tri Breaker a reality. These guys are the real heroes! So join me as I pick the team's brains about the origins of our newest title, the serious work that went into it, the inspirations we drew from, and even discuss some of the mistakes we made along the way. As usual, I hope these kinds of conversations give you interesting insight into the often-mysterious world of game development, warts and all. I know I for one am grateful for the context my forays into game dev provide... so why not spread the wealth?

I love that there's a track called Goon sesh on the soundtrack 😂 Just listened through the whole thing, got megaman vibes but mixed with gothic undertones. Love it

This talk inspired me to get back into game dev this year! I have put it aside for too long

Have you hired a consultant, some proven expert, at least to be an outside set of eyes for a post mortem? It seems extremely frustrating to toil away only to have no sense of market success.

Yeah, if they just targeted a few hotter genres like a roguelike, I think they’d get a hit.

I definitely agree that the less-than-hoped-for sales of Tri-Breaker is down to it being a brick breaker. Putting in my request for a Colin Moriarty written visual novel.

Feel awful for Barrie. My dog has cancer right now, 7.5 years old. It’s the hardest thing you could do
Robbie Agnew
Neat! Bring on the RPG
Joe Perez
